noob patching from stock game

[PurpeAtome]

Thanks for all your really helpful advice. I hadn't planned on buying the game at all, it really was a complete impulse buy! After a couple hours struggling with keyboard controls, I've decided to invest in a Logitech extreme 3d pro. Not going to get 1946 yet, but i'll certainly bear it in mind if I get into it.

Most of what you see here is the view from people who have been playing the series for years and not just started. We've been through a good deal of learning curve and tend to discount it while you're facing the whole thing.

What you've got is plenty really. It's not arcade at all but really that means the game is not a pushover. There's more about real flying that applies to this series than to most other combat flight sims with only the newest edging it out, *as far as I know*.

One thing to keep in mind. The default speedbar units are kilometers per hour speed and meters in height. You can change that to mph/ft or knots/ft, but I forget what the toggle is, sorry! If you stick with kph (German and Russian plane IAS gauges show KPH) then keep in mind that 200 is seriously "just took off" slow and 300 is still not fast for WWII fighters, it's 186 mph. 400+ is good combat speed by mid-WWII.
